This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $392,802 will fund research from March 2022 through February 2025 to quantify relationships between topography, soil properties, and soil organic carbon in fire-prone landscapes in Oregon. The awardee, University of Oregon, will collect data on the extent, depth, and age of soil organic carbon at recently burned mountainous study sites in southwest Oregon. The research aims to inform soil management and carbon sequestration efforts by examining...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $176,388 to Oregon State University (OSU) aims to quantify the production of pyrogenic carbon (charcoal) during wildfires in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest region and examine how this altered carbon affects soil carbon cycling during ecosystem regeneration. The study will leverage a unique dataset on the 2023 Lookout Fire in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest to (i)...
This $642,666 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will fund research into fire-biotic disturbance interactions and their sensitivity to climate change in the North American boreal biome. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. will use computer simulations to better understand the impacts and threats of new pests, herbivores, and diseases in Alaskan boreal forests, and how these disturbances may interact with fire and climate to alter carbon storage. The...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $410,292 three-year Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York at the University at Albany to support collaborative research exploring the dynamic interaction between pyrogenic carbon and extracellular enzymes and its impacts on organic matter cycling in fire-impacted environments. The grant is part of the Geosciences program, which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) totaling $469,559 provides funding to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to assess the impacts of increasing wildfire severity on permafrost carbon loss and carbon cycling in boreal forest and Arctic tundra ecosystems. The research aims to integrate long-term field observations, radiocarbon dating, and Earth system modeling to determine how wildfire-induced permafrost thaw affects the carbon balance in...
This $556,655 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research initiative to better understand past and future fire-climate relationships in the eastern United States. The primary awardee, Auburn University, will develop and analyze Holocene-era (last ~12,000 years) paleofire records to compare fire and climate histories prior to human impacts. The project aims to quantify regional fire-climate relationships and better...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will support collaborative research on boreal forest fire feedbacks from 2023 to 2027. The $138,467 award to the University of Colorado Denver will explore the paleohistory of short interval fires in boreal forests through analysis of lake sediment cores. Fieldwork will determine the resilience of current landscapes to short interval fires and whether these are creating novel forest structures. High-performance...
This four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating novel...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island (URI) from August 2024 to July 2027 to conduct research on the relationship between past fire activity and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to develop and analyze paleofire records from the last 12,000 years to better understand the baseline fire-climate dynamics in the region, prior to significant human impacts. By...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $201,625 was provided to Bates College to conduct collaborative research on resolving past fire-climate relationships in the Eastern United States. The goal is to better understand future fire potential in the region by analyzing palefire records and climate data over the Holocene period (past 12,000 years). The research will compare fire and climate histories prior to human impacts to establish...
